Buyer questions before procurement

What should we share first?

Share the systems, modules or equipment, sites and users, required service hours, current team, main issues and target start date. Do not send credentials.

How are priorities and SLA targets defined?

They are agreed after confirming business impact, coverage, L1–L3 ownership, dependencies and escalation paths. Unverified effort, ticket volumes, response or resolution times are not published.

Should we use hiring, dispatch or IT services?

Use permanent hiring for long-term employment, licensed dispatch where the customer directs daily work, and IT services where outcomes and operating responsibility are assigned to a delivery team.
